Black arrested for rape and murder of 89-year-old White woman to have competence determined by jury trialLUBBOCK, TX - Attorneys for a Lubbock man arrested for the murder of a Slaton woman in 2012 went before a grand jury to determine his competency to stand trial on Friday. 22-year-old Sampson Blake Oguntope was found incompetent to stand trial in April 2013 and was sent to a state hospital in Vernon, TX for further observation. Oguntope's doctor found him to be competent in August, but Oguntope's attorneys filed a motion objecting those findings. A judge considered this objection on Friday and decided the issue will be decided in a jury trial. A jury will consider Oguntope's competence later this month. Oguntope was arrested in February 2012 for the murder of 89-year-old Faye Gray in Slaton. Gray's caretaker, 21-year-old Megan Moore, was also shot in the altercation, but was able to escape. - (Black-on-white)

Fourth (a Black) Arrested In (White) Australian Athlete's Murder In DuncanDUNCAN, Oklahoma - New developments in the murder of baseball player, Christopher Lane. Stephens County Prosecutors charged 22-year-old Oddesse Barnes with accessory to the murder after the fact, Monday afternoon. The arrest is tied to the missing murder weapon. Investigators have not located the murder weapon, a 22-caliber revolver, since Christopher Lane was shot in August 2013. It doesn't appear investigators are any closer to finding it and believe Barnes is the reason why. Rick Bumpas said he believes prosecutors are trying to bolster the state's case against his grandson, Chancey Luna, the alleged gunman in the shooting death of Australian native Christopher Lane. Barnes admitted to concealing the gun. A probable cause affidavit showed Barnes said Luna and his co-defendant, Michael Jones, handed off the murder weapon after the shooting last August. - (Black-on-white)

(Black) teen up for 'shock probation' after four months of eight-year sentence - White victims are outragedRICHARDSON — Brittany Barton can't get the image out of her mind — a burglar in her bedroom in the middle of the night. "It was the creepiest thing I've ever seen," she said. "The worst part is feeling like you can't protect your child. You can't bring him home to a place that is safe." A flashlight scanning the room startled her awake early one morning last September. As she nudged her fiancée to get up, Barton watched the intruder go through her dresser. He finally got spooked and sneaked out of the room when Barton’s fiancée, Jeremy Bay, asked "What?" to her insistent nudging. Police quickly caught the intruder, Brandon Jordan, 19. He’s a neighbor who was already on probation for theft when he was caught with cash, computers and a TV from Barton's home. "The chance of him getting to live right behind us again? That's unreal," Barton said. It’s unsettling, too. But the couple is setting aside fear and returning to court to demand that Brandon Jordan face justice.- (Black-on-white)

16 YEARS LATER: DNA evidence links man to Minneapolis rape MINNEAPOLIS - A woman who was sexually assaulted in Minneapolis 16 years ago did not get justice until a break in the case came more than a decade later when DNA from a separate crime gave investigators the link they needed. William Jackson was never a suspect until he was charged with a separate crime and the DNA databases confirmed he was a match in the Minneapolis case -- a match that may never have been made if it weren't for an effort that involved going over old evidence with modern forensic science. It appears that time and science have finally caught up with Jackson, linking him to the rape that took place along Park Avenue in south Minneapolis 16 years ago. The victim said her attacker snuck in through a winder and told her, "Shut your --- ----- mouth or I'll blow your head off. Where's your money?" The assailant then forced her to perform oral sex twice while her son slept in the next room before tying her up and gagging her with a sock.

'Run ... kick ... punch': Little (White) girl thwarts abduction attempt by black manPARKLAND, Wash. - A 6-year-old Parkland girl is safe today because of her smart, quick actions when two men tried to kidnap her in broad daylight in her own neighborhood. The drama unfolded Wednesday as the little girl, Savanna Norman, was walking home after playing and jumping on the trampoline at the home of her friend, 9-year-old Raquelle Pittenger, who lives right across the street. "I looked both ways, and there was no one coming but … then I went halfway across the street, two guys came out of nowhere," Savanna says. And what happened next is every parent's nightmare. "They grabbed me," says Savanna. But Savanna's smart moves made her mom very proud. "Run ... and kick ... and punch," says the little girl. "What's the No. 1 thing you did that got everybody's attention around the whole neighborhood?" asks Savanna's mom, Amy Norman. "I kicked him," says Savanna. "I screamed loud." This 6-year-old knows "stranger danger" well. "'Cause mommy teaches me," she says. Amy saw the attempted kidnapping from her front window, and dashed out the door. "My heart was pounding," she says. Meanwhile, her 9-year-old friend Raquelle watched from steps away. "It made me feel scared and terrible," she says. It was a dangerous situation - derailed by a smart little girl who remembered the right thing to do. "Very proud," says her mom. "What happened ... was very scary for all of us."
